Welcome to the forum, and to insulin.

Others will likely chip in on apps, I've never used an app for carb counting.

Welcome to the forum.

I've been carb counting (successfully) for over six years now and I've never used an app. You might want to have a look at this website

https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb

which has lots of really useful information on probable carb values.

best of luck!

Hi @Erict & welcome to the forum

I’m not on insulin so the need for me to know how many carbs is different to yours. I do keto so less than 20g carb a day, not sure what kind of app you are looking for but I use Myfitnesspal to calculate & record my macros & calories etc

I find it works well for me but you have to be careful as it’s peer led so sometimes the info for a product is totally wrong. I tend to have my own list of everything that I put into my foods/recipes etc
